Cochlear Nerve."The cochlear nerve or root, the nerve of hearing, arises from bipolar cells in the spiral ganglion of the cochlea, situated near the inner edge of the osseous spiral lamina. The peripheral fibers pass to the organ of Corti.

cochlea A tubular cavity of the inner ear containing the essential organs of hearing; occurs in crocodiles, birds, and mammals; spirally coiled in mammals.
The cochlea is a tube, about 3.5 cm long, that is coiled like a snail shell and filled with a special fluid called endolymph.

Together with the cochlea, the auditory organ, it is situated in the vestibulum in the inner ear (Figure 1).
Each animal had been deafened by destruction of the hair cells in the cochlea that translate sound vibrations into nerve signals. A gene, called Atoh1, which stimulates the hair cells' growth, was delivered to the cochlea by an adenovirus.
The sound is transmitted by air pressure changes to the eardrum, the inner ear ossicles (hammer, anvil and stirrup), and finally the oval window of the cochlea.
Hearing involves the actions of the external ear, eardrum, ossicles, and cochlea. In hearing, sound waves in air are converted into vibrations of a liquid then into movement of hair cells in the cochlea.
The last of these bones, the stirrup transmits these vibrations into the fluid filled cochlea. This causes tiny hairs within the cochlea to vibrate.

Hair cells Specialized neurons inside the cochlea of the inner ear; hair cells use a connected bundle of stereocilia to detect motion and initiate the hearing signal-transduction pathway.
